Sturgeon Love (Marc O'rell remix)

by Kele Fleming

/

about

This song is a celebration of life and spirit. I wrote this song for the ancient Fraser River sturgeon. They are a symbol of survival and perseverance to me. The Fraser River forms a massive river system in Vancouver, the city I lived in for many decades. And, the sturgeon have plied the murky waters of this river for millenia. Like a holdover from the times of the dinosaur, they have remained mythic and secret in the river for so many years...Until white settlers arrived on what is now Canada’s Pacific shores and ‘discovered them.’ Everything changed. The song is rhythmic and flows like a river and the words evoke the mysteries of life hidden in its murky waters. The lyrics and melody pull you in and hook you with the love that flows through the song.

German engineer and producer Marc O’Rell has done a complete dancefloor treatment on the song. The rhytmic melody is now a dance anthem.

lyrics

You did not wait for me at the shoreline
On your knees
My Fraser Girl
And I did not find you down there
I lift my skirt
I’m scared of this river lore

And I’ve been alive 10 million years
You better wipe away those sturgeon tears
And go shallow

All that was frozen is now a river
All my thoughts have come undone
All that was broken is now together
And all we need is sturgeon love

You take my hand and lead me
To this river land
We will not hesitate
I will dive deep in this eternal religious sleep
We will populate

And I’ve been alive 10 million years
You better wipe away those sturgeon tears
And go shallow

All that was frozen is now a river
All my thoughts have come undone
All that was broken is now together
And all we need is sturgeon love
